You don't have to be young to love technology and media! I may be older but I still geek out about games, movies, books, and all forms of technology and find joy in learning every day. Here's where I'll share my latest musings and daily joys of technology...and the odd opinions people have about older geeks like me.

Cortex Podcast

One podcast that I thoroughly enjoy is Cortex. I’ve always enjoyed CGP Grey on Hello Internet (it’s very popular with cohost Brady Haran), and his YouTube videos are intelligent, informative, and entertaining. My son knew this and recommended Cortex to me. I was hooked.

On Cortex, Grey is joined by Myke Hurley. Both are exceptional hosts! What I love about this podcast is how they talk about how they work. It’s fascinating. They discuss everything from the tools they use to how they set up these tools. A common topic is what’s on the screen of their iPads or iPhones. They discuss work space and ideal locations for optimal output. The benefits and downfalls of work apps for organization and calendars are explored. They also talk about division of labor and delegating to team members. I know I’m an organizational, effective work space aficionado, but I would highly recommend this podcast for anyone interested in different work styles.

There are currently 72 episodes. I suggest starting at the very beginning so you can appreciate how they have evolved in developing their work. This is one podcast that always makes me smile. I hope you’ll give it a try. I’m sure you’ll enjoy listening to Myke and Grey as they navigate the complex world of work.
